Bil-‘Aa-khirati – (at the
price of the Hereafter), it appears from study of the religious books of the
Jews that Belief in the Hereafter had not remained in their hearts. It is fact
that concept of God Almighty and the Day of Resurrection is main Check and
prohibition from evil-doing and sinful life. If the human being has no concept
about second eternal life, rewards/remuneration on good deeds and punishment on
sins and evil deeds; then there is no such method to resist him from committing
sins and evil-doing.

Laa hum yunsaruun - (they will
not be supported), its origin isnasara,
which means support, help.Ansaar(the supporters) is also from this
word and the word Mansur has been
derived from it too, which means victor and victorious. Meanings of the entire
sentence are, “They will not be supported by anyone to lighten their
punishment”.

The Jews had fallen in the false suspicion
that they, whether; how much sins commit, their ancestors and pious persons
will reach to help them on the Day of Resurrection and save them from the torment
of the Fire. Now God Almighty has decreed that their belief is invalid and
wrong, and commanded that they would not be supported from any side.

Summary of previous verses has been described in this verse that
the people, who disobeyed the Commands of Allah, the Most high, turned back
from their covenant after binding it and sacrificed their religion for their
worldly benefits, followed the casual worldly relishes and tastes by giving up
rewards, favors and kindnesses of the Day of Resurrection. They have bought temporary
comfort of this world by leaving the prosperity of the Judgment Day. There will
be severe punishment for them on the Day of Resurrection. Neither the distress
upon them will be forgiven and nor will it be lessened. Those individuals
should know that none can set them free and nor anybody can help them in this
matter. After death, only good deeds of every individual will support him/her.

85b. and if they came to you as captives ye
would ransom them, whereas their expulsion was itself unlawful for you.
Believe ye in part of the Scripture and disbelieve ye in part thereof? And
what is the reward of those who do so save ignominy in the life of the world,
and on the Day of Resurrection they will be consigned to the most grievous
doom. And Allah is not Unaware of what ye do.

‘Al-kitaabu –
(the Book)), it aims Torah; the Heavenly Scripture of the Jews. This argument is
being fixed upon them that besides following the commands of HolyQur’an, even they do not obey commands
of their own Holy Scripture fully. They obey only those some commands, in which
they consider their own benefit. Which commands demand sacrifice, they put them
behind themselves.

In this verse, wicked deeds of the Children
of Israel and breach of covenant by them have been explained. They used to
exile their colleagues first of all, by fighting them. Whenever they used to
become prisoners of other nations, then the Jews set them free quickly paying
compensation to show their sincerity, still it is fact that it was unlawful for
them to exile their religious brothers. So, it is found that they obey the
Command of Torah that the prisoners should be set free, but they do not obey
this order that they should not be exiled.

Allah Almighty commands along with it, “And
what is the reward of those who do so save ignominy in the life of the world,
and on the Day of Resurrection they will be consigned to the most grievous
doom. And Allah is not Unaware of what ye do”.

It is known from this sentence that as the
Children of Israel used to slay and shed the blood among themselves
mutually or exile their compatriots and religious-fellows, which was not for
any principle but only as a sin, tyranny and transgression. The nation, which
behaves like this with their own people, what a better behavior that can do
with others?

God Almighty warns the Children
of Israel in this verse, “You ratified Our Covenant that you should
neither shed the blood of your people; nor turn (a party of) your people out of
their dwellings.” But you oppose this covenant. You slay one another and drive
out a party of your people from their homes.

During the times of Last Messenger (peace
and blessings be upon Him), two tribes from the Children of Israel ‘Banu
Nazair’ and ‘Banu Quraizah’ used to live inMadinahand its vicinity. They used to remain
busy in civil war/domestic quarrels habitually. Two tribes of the Infidels of
Madinah were also populated there. One of the tribes from the Jews used to be
friend of the one tribe of Infidels, and the other tribe of the Jews - friend
of the other tribe of the infidels. Whenever the war used to begin, it was
their routine to slay and exile one another.

It reveals from the history that after the
Prophet Solomon (peace be upon Him), cruel contradiction grew among the twelve
tribes of the Children of Israel. Many people were slain during their
wars. Resultant, their government was ruined. They became slaves of
others and were compelled to pass their lives under disgrace, infamy and
ignominy condition.

84. And when We made with you a covenant (saying): Shed
not the blood of your people nor turn (a party of) your people out of your
dwellings. Then ye ratified (Our covenant) and ye were
witnesses (thereto).

Discourse of the Jews has been chained with
effect from fifth Section of this Surah. The Children
of Israel had gone astray from their real religion. They used to
change and make alteration in the Holy Scripture of God Almighty Torah, after
hearing the Commandments of Allah Almighty and promising to fulfill it, they
used to slip from that covenant. They were involved in false and self-invented
fidelities. They had doubt that whether they commit lots of evils and sins,
they would not be punished entirely, but their ancestors would get them saved
from the Fire of Hell.

Refuting the false faiths of the Children
of Israel, God Almighty disclosed by means of Holy Qur’an,
(which is the universal law of deliverance). Only those people are entitled for
the Paradise who believe in Allah Almighty and do
good works. Without them the individual, who is surrounded in the evils,
notwithstanding, he will enter into the Hell.

After talking about the law of salvation,
God Almighty commanded about the way which is righteous and good servants of
Him, and drew attention towards their covenant.

Allah Almighty made with them two more
covenants:

(1) Shed not the blood of their
people.

(2) Not to turn (a party
of) their people out of their dwellings. Because doing so, the collective
dignity and fear of the nation will finish. The opponents will get opportunity
to attack over them, get possession over them and become their rulers.

83. And (remember) when We made a covenant with the
Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to
parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to
mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor-due. Then, after that, ye
slid back, save a few, being averse.

Miisaaq – (Covenant,
promise, pledge, consent, agreement, negotiation, treaty), this covenant of the
Children of Israel has been described at many other places in the Holy Qur’aan.
It has been mentioned also in the Holy Scriptures i.e. Torah and Gospel.

God Almighty tells the Children of Israel in
this verse: It has become your habit that you turn your faces away from the
Commands of God, the Most High”. So their attention is being drawn towards
their famous Covenant.

This Covenant was taken by God Almighty from
the Children of Israel that they would never worship any other thing save Allah
Almighty, treat their parents, relatives and kindred, orphans and the needy
well, politely and speak kindly to the mankind; and establish worship and pay
the poor-due. But these people slid back after making the covenant with God
Almighty and could not fulfill it. There were only a few people who regarded
their covenant and cared for their promise.

Along with it God Almighty commands: You
slid back, being averse. It means that they were the people who used to turn
away from their covenants and promises habitually and did not keep their
footing on it.

We should learn the lesson from these
Revelations and the covenant which we have committed with Allah, the Most High,
“The Testimony, that there is none worthy of worship but ALLAH and Muhammad
(Peace and blessings be upon Him) is HIS Messenger”, we have to act upon the
Commands of Holy Qur’anand
the Sayings of the Last Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings upon Him). We
should pass our lives remaining in the circle of this Testimony. We should
remember this faithful promise always.

‘Ahaatat
bihii kha-tiii-‘atuhuu – (his sin surroundeth him) it aims that they adopted
the path of evil intentionally and then so rushed into the sins that there was
no space remained for the Faith. This condition is of the people of infidelity
(those persons who are unbelievers, disbelievers in the true religion and
infidels).

‘Amilus-saalihaati – (they do good
works)Good works are the necessary condition along with
Belief for achieving the goal of entering into the Garden and for succeeding in
this world. The good works are the works which a person acts in accord with the
commandments of God Almighty.

The children of Israel had invented a lot of
false fundamental beliefs of the religion and these faiths were being shifted
from previous race to the next, for instance, “they are beloved and fondling of
God Almighty, they will not be punished due to their sins and if they will be
punished, that punishment will be only for a few days, and that their ancestors
and forefathers will get them forgiven from God Almighty”.

Behind the shade of these faiths, those people
used to commit every evil “unlawful acts and of contraband character” and they
were involved in this false notion that it was not necessary for them to follow;
till now; the religion and to believe in the teachings of the Last Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon Him).

God Almighty has refuted their false opinions in
this verse, and commanded that dependence of being released is on two things:

The
person would have faith in God, the Most High.

Do good
works.

That is to say, dependence of rewards and
punishment is on having belief in the commandments of God Almighty and acting
upon them.

Script & Translated from Arabic to English by Marmaduke Pickthall, Published by PaakCompany, 17-Urdu Bazaar, Lahore, Lesson collected from Dars e Qur’aan published By Idara Islaah wa Tableegh, Lahore (translated Urdu to

80. And they say: The Fire (of punishment) will not touch
us save for a certain number of days. Say: Have ye received a covenant from
Allah -- truly Allah will not break His covenant---or tell ye concerning
Allah that which ye know not?

An-Naaru – (The Fire)
this word indicates toward the Fire of the Hell. It has been mentioned in the
Holy Qur’an at many places and the human beings have been
cautioned in the entire Heavenly Scriptures of the world. Nobody will be able
to recommend any other to be saved from the agony of the Hell. Neither the
remuneration will be useful and nor there will be any individual so much
powerful that he may save anyone.

‘Ayyaamam-ma’-duudah – (a certain
number of days) the Jews had faith that they will be sent into the Fire only
for a few days. After that, they will be brought out from it. Different numbers
of days have been mentioned in their sayings. Some of them say it seven days,
some other say for forty days. It signifies towards the days; they fell in the
worship of the calf and some people say that every evil doer will be kept into
the Fire equal to his age.

The Children of Israel used to
suppose themselves that they were beloved and fondling of God Almighty. They
used to discuss that His favors and kindness are as a warrant which He bestowed
on them from time to time. For this purpose, they had invented many false
sayings about it. Its proof was not available in their Holy Books. One from
their invented false sayings and false traditions was, “they had faith in it
that if God Almighty gave them any punishment due to their sins; that will be
only for a few days. They would not remain into the Hell for ever”.

God Almighty asks from the Children
of Israel by means of His last Messenger (peace and blessings be upon
Him), “Have you received a covenant from Allah” due to which He is compelled to
fulfill it? Indeed, either you have invented these false things yourselves or
you tell concerning Him that which you do not know. There is no reply of it
instead of it that their all claims like this, are only self fabricated. They
have no such warrant of religion regarding these false sayings.

78. Among them are unlettered folk who know the scripture
not except from hearsay. They but guess.

79. Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture
with their hands, then say, “This is from Allah,” that they may purchase a
small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and
woe unto them for that they earn thereby!

‘Amaaniyya– (false hopes, hearsay)
its singular is ‘umniah. This word is used in two meanings;

(1) as like hope which does not have any reality
and some persons remain cheerful only in false notions.

(2) Anybody remains fallen in false
traditions and absurdities. There are a lot of instances of resemblances like
this in the history of Jews, for example their false notions that nobody will
go into the Paradise except them.

Samanan – (price, cost, value) meanings of
this word are not only the net cash or cash price but anything which will be
gotten as reward or remuneration for any other thing, that will be its samanan.
In this verse samanan means worldly reward or
remuneration.

Mimmaa yaksibuun – (out of their
earnings) in this verse it has two meanings;

(1) Pile of their sins – because of increasing
their sins due to these mischief constantly.

(2). which financial reward or remuneration
these persons achieve due to change or alteration/transposition.

Illiterate class of the Jews did not know that
what has been written in the Holy Book Torah. They were aware of only a few
false expectations, hopes and desires, which they had listened from their
forefathers and expected that their ancestors will get them forgiven from their
sins.

God Almighty commands that the people who change
His Orders and say that it is the order of God Almighty, unto them there is strict
woe.

76. And when they fall in with those
who believe, they say: We believe. But when they go apart one with another
they say: Prate ye to them of that which Allah hath disclosed to you that
they may contend with you before your Lord concerning it? Have ye then no sense?

77. Are they then unaware that Allah
knoweth that which they keep hidden and that which they claim?

Li-yuhaaaj-juukum-bihii – (they may
contend with you concerning it), hajaj is the origin of haaaj-juu.
The word hujjat has also come out from it, which means “proof,
argument and reason”. Meanings of this entire sentence are, “to make it proof
and argue with this source”. The Jews, who transposed words in the Holy
Scripture; Torah, used to say to their hypocrite friends: You provide proofs to
the Muslims against your own, telling them the real teachings of your Book.

It is being
mentioned from here about the Jews, who were Hypocrites. Whenever, these people
used to meet cordially with the Muslims, they used to disclose their faith in
the Last Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon Him) and to gain their
favor, they used to tell them the entire foretelling and emblems for
authentication and support of the Last Messenger (peace and blessings be upon
Him), which exist in their Religious Book.

But, whenever these
Jews used to meet with one another, they used to censure mutually: Why have you
provided the weapon against yourselves to the Muslims, telling about your
teachings. The Muslims will use these proofs against you and taking your own
words as a warrant, they will give evidence against you before God Almighty
that the Jews did not return to the real religion, whereas they had known
everything”. As though, these foolish people were supposing that Muslims can
know these matters only through the Jews. They do not know that God Almighty
can expose their all matters (open or hidden) before the Last Prophet Muhammad
(peace and blessings be upon Him) and the Muslims, any time.

Tatma-‘uuna – (you have any hope) this word has
been derived from Tama-’a. Common meanings of Tama-’a are
‘to long for’, ‘to have greed’ and also it means ‘to hope’, ‘to expect’. Here
it signifies towards the last meaning.

Yuharri-fuunahuu – (they used
to change it), origin of this word is harafa and infinitive mood
is tahriif, which means ‘change’. There are two ways of changing
the words:

Literal changing (to change the words, to change
its pronunciation, so that reality of the word may be changed. For
instance; the Jews used to speak the words ‘hintatun’ instead of ‘hittatun’
and ‘ra-iina’ instead of ‘raa-‘ina’).

Significant change (to change the meanings of the
words – in translation and explanation).

After telling the
important happenings in the history of the Children of Israel, God
Almighty commands in the previous verse that these people will not
admit/recognize any warning from these Revelations because their hearts have
become harder than rocks. Exemplary happenings have no effects on their hearts.

In this verse, Allah
Almighty admonishes the Muslims, “Do you wish that they should be agree to your
sayings, whereas from their ancestors, during the period of Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him) and after them also there was a party, which used to change
intentionally after listening to the Speech of God Almighty. While it was the
condition of their elders then; Have you any hope that they will be true to
you? How can you expect from them of goodness? They are ill-disposed people.
They will never believe.

It appears from God
Almighty’s such proclamation that the Muslims should not have much expectation
regarding acceptance of Islam by the Jews.

74. Then, even after that, your
hearts were hardened and became as rocks, or worse than rocks, for hardness.
For indeed there are some rocks from which rivers gush, and indeed there are
rocks which split asunder so that water floweth from them. And indeed there are
rocks which fall down for the fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of what
ye do.

In the previous
verses, God Almighty commanded about some incidents happened in the history of
the Children of Israel to consider them lessons, from which we may
know that they remained involved in different kinds of evil-doings and
disobedience. God Almighty used to forgive them but they, even then, did not
understand. As though, their hearts were hardened and became as rocks, or worse
than the rocks, for hardness, because there are some rocks which are useful and
advantageous for the creature of the Creator, some rocks are from which rivers
and springs gush and the people get water for their personal use, for their
animals and for their crops. Hence every field of life needs water, there is no
conception of life without it and that is the great favor of God Almighty, Who
provides us through rocks.

And indeed there are
some rocks which fall down from the peaks of the mountains as they are falling
in the prostration for the fear of Allah Almighty.

The commentators of
the religion have made comments that example of the rocks, from which the
rivers and springs gush, is like the Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon
Them) in the population of human beings. Due to their springs of favor and
kindness, the people (the creature of God) quench their spiritual thirst.
Example of the second kind of rocks is like the saints of God Almighty. Many
people reap advantage and blessing from them. Like them, there are the
Believers and Righteous persons, who, if may not guide and correct others, even
then their own faith and deeds remain sound.

Neither the Children
of Israel reaped advantage from the teachings of Prophets (peace be upon
Them), nor they listened to the advice of the servants of God Almighty, as
though, their hearts were hardened and became as rocks, or worse than rocks, on
which, no speech becomes effective. And Allah Almighty is Aware of what
the entire individuals do.
